I Was Surprised to See This! | Shopping for Antiques & Vintage

What did I find that the pros didn't? I'm shopping in Paradise, an antique center in Las Vegas's Paradise Valley, with two KZbinrs who are fantastic fun to shop with...but I didn't share all my secrets with them! Come along and see all the finds from our shopping excursion, including a few interesting antique conundrums (that Tiffany is no set!).
We all shop for different things, and I consider a huge set of signed art glass paperweights, a gorgeous huge Old Paris vase, even a bakelite pencil sharpener with a famous 1930s Disney character. There's surprises all over this huge and varied mall, some great and some shocking for their time.
Enjoy this shop with me video while we explore another new place in the world of antique and vintage goods--and the people who love them!

In reference to the watermelon soda, during the 20th century librarians purged bookshelves of racist materials including the ten little type books leading to their rarity today. As scholars study derogatory stereotypes, the erasure of history, and items such as these, is most often known as whitewashing. While this genre should not be produced or touted as exemplary today, their historical significance is immeasurable when they are solely employed as artifacts and as tools of instruction. How can society expect to be better if they don't know how or why to do better? Thank you for having the conversation and not shying away from this aspect of their existence.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I do agree with you entirely!

[@bluebelle9572]

Thank you for sharing. You said it so well.

[@lightmarker3146]

About 6 years ago , while looking at a stack of sterioptican pictures a series of some were a lynching and the crowd watching it. I discreetly showed the store owner what was in the booth and he thanked me, . I cant imagine the uproar it could cause now . History happened and we must be sensitive yet reasonable about artifacts.

Thanks, George for your excellent instruction. I like how you show us novices the difference between authentic & repros, also sleeper unmarked pieces & bolos. Almost makes me want to ask older friends if i can poke around in their attics & garages. Notice, i said...almost 🤣

Ha we had a 58 Chevy convertible black w white rag top when I was a kid! It was a treat to have the top down on our Sunday family rides

[@twistoffate4791]

I did not know that I would see a $7,000 geode by the day's end, especially one as large as those. Mind blown. I had no idea geodes that big were out there, much less at an antique mall in Vegas. I had rainbow suspenders that I wore nearly every day for a time in the 70s. A few years ago, I gave them to my buddy Scott's daughter. When Scott saw them, he wanted to be the one to wear them (he's a harmonica player who endearingly refuses to adhere to modern trends) but they were far too small. Was SO glad you went solo on this Vegas (antique mall) video. No interruptions of mindless drivel suited me fine.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Amazing, I agree that I wasn't expecting that! The rainbow suspenders were such a neat look in that time. I enjoyed doing this one to give a different view of the Vegas experience, glad you enjoyed it too!

[@twistoffate4791]

[@laraemitchell9064]

The geodes here are beautiful. Those big ones with the purple crystals are referred to as “cathedrals” and are amethyst. The yellow ones are citrine. Pink is rose quartz. All of these are in the quartz family and are often from Brazil. Some are heated to enhance color. Heating amethyst can change the color to the more yellow hues. But all of these are more valuable if the colors are very vibrant and natural. This goes for these stones used in jewelry, also. Wide variety of values depending upon the quality. Note: amethyst color ranges from very pale lavender to very dark purple. Quartz crystals are found all over the world and is a very common mineral. Values are all over the place as well. Side note: agates are in the quartz family as well.

[@heidiesterholm2938]

Thanks Antique Nomad.

[@lauraansara5066]

My cousin Micheal Ansara was in several episodes of Star Trek....from the original series thru the subseqent iterations...

[@FossilForwardFinds]

This was a fab video! That Star Trek wall would have gotten me in trouble (as my name suggests) and as a geologist, those amethyst towers would have been heart breaking to leave behind. They have been on my list of future pieces to collect since I was a child but as you pointed out, the prices are often very high.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

You and me both! I love them and hope to find one good one unusually cheaply someday...something with lots of dust and dog hair...

Thank you for the information and taking us along as you educate us and look for affordable vintage/antique treasures. ❤😊

[@karmicscope5259]

I love that the dealer was so thorough. One of my huge pet peeves is when someone (especially online) doesn’t put any info except title. I have passed up buying from certain sellers when they consistently put zero info. Nobody wants to ask basic questions for every piece. At minimum, people need to put measurements.

[@tiftyme]

@@karmicscope5259 I think the issue there is that, the seller may be afraid of an “ item not as described” situation or they may not know. For me It’s all about the under promise, over deliver theory.

[@TexasGal4981]

This one was so much fun. Liked the Snow White pencil sharpener.

The true Roseville piece has a slightly translucent coating I think, and the surface is satin. The overall affect is mesmerizing.

[@lucybaker1808]

Greetings from the UK! You’re right, George, Courage is a large, old British brewery, that also owned lots of pubs (including the building and fittings) back in the day too. Landlords and landladies would be ‘tied’ to that company’s products, so they could only buy their beer, spirits and soft drinks from the brewery that the pub was tied to. If you were a ‘free house’, you could buy beer etc from whomever you liked. Was/is the same system common in the US too? Love finding out such fascinating info from your videos, a lot of items that you don’t come across here so much - thank you!🎉

[@janetpogue4970]

You might never see this comment but I just had to add it. I have recently discovered your videos and been binging a little. Great information. I am watching this video a year out and recognized the Bakelite jewelry right away as something that I was bidding on in an auction. I live near Paradise and enjoyed learning more about the owner of these antiques I’m bidding on. Thanks for all the good information!

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

Good evening, George! I used to have quite a lot of the old radio tubes, but they were lost when I moved here. I do have an old tube tester that was my granddad's. It is important to show the black Americana items. I have black friends, and they are interested in those items. Those Tab glasses reminded me of something - have you ever seen a 7-Up "Uncola" upside down pitcher? I've seen the glasses, but never a pitcher. I liked that linen blend Mother Goose book. Love Heisey glass! To me, Heisey is the pinnacle of clear glass. I'd seriously like to have a Heisey "Colonial" water set, but just have nowhere to put another set. I don't want too much pattern on Heisey - I like to show off the glass itself. I'd like to have that Spelter blacksmith statue. I'd make a hammer for him. I would've been frozen in the space where the geodes were. Those things have a mystifying effect on me. Loved the Old Paris vase! That's definitely my style of vase. I much prefer porcelain vases to glass ones. There were quite a number of things there that caught my eye. Thanks for the shop-a-long!!!
